A passage from the Pangloss Fund's On Line Glossary: BEAR MARKET: The market bear is an extinct animal, in the same class as dodo birds and sabre toothed tigers. Sightings are often conjured up by short sellers hoping to panic long term holders. Although some fossil evidence has been cited suggesting the existence of the market bear into relatively recent times, the last specimen is known to have been shot, stuffed, and placed in a private museum in 1982.
